E. aspera P.v.M. 



E. brachyandra F.v.M. 



E. clavigera A. Gunn. 



This section connects with the true Angophoras (so-called Apple trees) in hispid 

 foliage, paper-like fruits, and in other respects. 



E. ASPERA F.V.M. 



The type described as a small tree, with smooth greyish-white (ashy-white) 

 bark. Again, it has been described as " A dwarf Gum with white smooth bark," yet 

 with the trunk described up to 2 ft. 6 in. in diameter. It has hispid foliage. 



E. BRACHYANDRA F.V.M. 



A scrambling, small tree of 25-30 feet; bark grey, rough, longitudinally fissured, 

 persistent on trunk and limbs. 



E. clavigera A. Cunn. 



In its typical form (North-west Australia) not more than 40 feet high, but in 

 better conditions in Northern Queensland it may attain a larger size. The former 

 tree has been described as bark somewhat rough and greyish on the trunk, soon peeling 

 off in plates, leaving the under surface white and smooth — a Cabbage Gum. In 

 Queensland it has been given the same name, and the bark described as tessellated 

 for about 10 feet, then white and smooth. It has tessellated bark at the foot of 

 Astrolabe Range, Papua, according to Mr. C. T. White. Colour of timber deep rich 

 brown.
